The German govt is quite comfortable to invest/subsidise/support fuel cell technology but instead we go for a tax on the "big polluters".

The Germans have an emissions trading scheme too.

A carbon tax or trading scheme is better than subsidies, as it avoids having government try to guess which technologies are best and what level they should be subsidised at. That's led to over-investment in solar in Germany and in residential solar in NSW, and other malinvestment elsewhere.

If high-emission power generation is taxed appropriately, then the high efficiency and low emissions of CFCL's fuel cells becomes more significant.

Similarly, I'd prefer to see a single universal (1 for 1?) feed-in-tariff, not ad hoc tariffs for different kinds of generation. That plus a universal carbon tax without exemptions (or free handouts) and CFCL would really be looking good.
